Instructions
-
Grease an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan.
-
Combine sugar, coffee creamer or coconut cream, and corn syrup in a tall, heavy saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring for 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
-
Add margarine and stir until the mixture boils (about 5 minutes), then cease stirring.
-
Boil the mixture without stirring, monitoring carefully, until a candy thermometer reads 250°F.
-
Once at 250°F, immediately stir in vanilla and cardamom (if using), then quickly pour into the prepared pan.
-
Cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for about an hour until firm. Freeze for 5 minutes before cutting into squares to reduce stickiness.
-
Wrap individual squares in waxed paper and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
